My father bought the identical drive you speak of one month ago, and it *refuses* to be the main partition to run an OS. If you do, it just utterly fails at random points during installation/usage. When you make it a slave, it seems to work as anticipated.
In another light, I've purchased quite a few IBM Deskstar's (80gig, 120gig) and haven't had a problem yet -- and they are doing hardcore 1-5mb/sec transfer 24/7.
Until you learn about how they are tacking on something to the MP3 file that does something you really didn't want it to do (i believe it's quite possible to "simulate" a playable mp3 file that does many other things then just music..:)
OK, this could happen already because I have an amazon cookie on my system which means I don't need to log in each time.
Technically, anytime you click on any order button for the first time (even if you have that cookie on your system) amazon will force you to log in again. I believe after that, it essentially generates a session for you and you do not have to login again until you close your browser (or reach their timeout level of inactivity)...
I don't know if anyone has been here lately, but I get kind of scared when I read things like, "The license acquisition process allows companies to gather targeted customer information."
I still want to know what's going to happen when I take a burned CD-R of mp3's and try to play them on their new DRM software. Or play my DVD-R? Will it let me? If so, then there's a huge loophole just waiting to be exploited. However, on the other side of the coin, if Joe Blow cannot play his songs or watch his DVD any longer, then I question how long DRM will be as effective and ironclad as Microsoft's 200 million dollars towards this project had expexted..
Personally, I think this isn't just to "see how customers react" -- it's more to see how people can get around it, so Microsoft can fix as many "easy" bugs as possible before it announces how secure it is..
It is your COPY of the ARTISTS MUSIC, for your own personal use, yes. You can edit a track on your CD to your heart's content, as long as it's for personal use. The minute you distribute this in any way, it infringes on the copyright (which you have stated). Just like you buying a book, you could write a different ending, but when you start to claim that it's yours/selling it, it doesn't really go over to well, now does it?
I think you're not on the right topic-- The topic is regarding sharing files (ie. infringing on the copyright), not your rights concerning personal usage.
Especially when they find Lucky owning some ill-gotten mp3, movie, or piece of software and threaten to throw him in jail unless he lets Microsoft do what they want..
This has got to be the best quote of the article, from Hilary Rosen, "Artists know record companies are giving blood, sweat and millions of dollars to help them realize their dreams."
Personally I think this is to wedge its presence into the completely *free* filesharing application realms.
I'm sure we'll see WINMX and other various FREE filesharing applications (kazaa deserves to die, gaining money off the "hard work" of artists.. come on.. I'm surprised they got this far) come up for trial within the next year or two.
k.
I'm sorry but in some ways I'm glad programs / "businesses" like this are under scrutinizing. They ("programs/businesses" who earn money from filesharing) will most definitely be shut down.. want to know why? They are making money via ads and other sources off of the music/movie/etc industries "hard work" without any compensation. That's a big no-no in a judge's eyes.
It will, however, be interesting to see how the RIAA takes down WINMX and other FREE networks. I haven't seen any ads and I am unsure if they are making any money what-so-ever. It can even be construed as a "hobby" in which I find it very hard a judge will shut down without a different type of reasoning..
I give P2P till 2005 before it's completely underground and back to ftp sites for a few days at a time.
I'm almost 99% sure that in the states, the legal guardian of the minor is held directly responsible for any actions the minor does. This is how my friend managed to get his parents thrown into jail. He became a truant by not attending school more than 15 days (though this rule differs in every county and state) and the truency officer arrested his parents, because they are legally responsible for their child's actions. Had he been over 18 (or the legal limit to not be a minor anymore), they would have arrested him.
1000 USD for 4 months of water? how much water could you possibly have used in this time? do you just leave all your faucets running 24/7?
I must admit I kind of feel ignorant to the concept of conserving water, however, since it's just "included" in my flat fee rent of 285/mo in Gainesville, Florida..
(though my computer programmer job for the university only pays up to about 40/yr..)

At my university (I work in the IS department) they still have it so anytime there is _any_ content exception (null pointer, stringoutofbounds, no records in database lookup, etc) throw this "blue screen of death" (no one gets it in the department except me, sadly enough) that has all these error messages.. since i'm a new hire my opinion of, "you should handle your errors more gracefully" is brushed off. i'm glad to see someone else has my view on this sort of thing:)
just to let you know, some of your links are broken on that website. i tried to look at some of the bio and got some broken links.
fabulous website name though. i so want it. =)
k.
What always got me was that I never heard much complaining about burning CDs (which are exact quality) and yet transferring 1/10th quality songs across the internet is one of the worst ways an artist loses money?
Of course with new versions of Microsoft on the way, the CD problem (and most likely the mp3 problem) will vanish with rights management...
What I don't understand is what exactly the RIAA is. I know why artists need record labels (to produce,promote,sell their CDs), but what's the purpose of the RIAA? Do all record labels belong to the RIAA? Kind of like a union?

I hate to break it to you, but your IP address is recorded when you post to slashdot, or any other website for that matter (at least every web server i've seen) and all they have to do is see, "Oh look, someone is going to this website, now we will mandate that website xyz to give us any interaction with this block of IP addresses.." your comments come up with a certain IP address, they then look to see which computer has that IP address, and they find out it is you.
I must interject here that Volpe is somewhat correct in stating that there are applications out there even today that tunnel their information through any port that is open, however according to this post from july of 2000, there is indeed a way to completely stop this transaction, once you find out the server address it is connecting to. it would be wise to note that while this provides a luke-warm feeling of security, a simple new server address and a quick "update" or "fix" or "exchange of information" between a new server and your computer is possible..

DRM will be embedded within DiVX. It's pointless now.

"Reasonable basis" scared me more. This is the same kind of wording a cop gets to use when they want to pull you over.
